protobuf-net is a contract based serializer for .NET code, that happens to write data in the "protocol buffers" serialization format engineered by Google. The API, however, is very different to Google's, and follows typical .NET patterns (it is broadly comparable, in usage, to XmlSerializer, DataContractSerializer, etc). It should work for most .NET languages that write standard types and can use attributes.

In this post, we are going to write about what we consider to be the best practices while developing the .NET Core Web API project. How we can make it better and how to make it more maintainable.

We are going to go through the following sections:

• Startup Class and the Service Configuration
• Project Organization
• Environment Based Settings
• Data Access Layer
• Controllers
• Actions
• Microsoft.AspNetCore.All Meta-Package
• Routing
• Logging
• CryptoHelper
• Content Negotiation
• Using JWT
• Conclusion  

Entity Framework is Microsoft’s flagship Object/Relation Mapper, and the recommended way to access relational databases. Entity Framework Core is a complete rewrite from the “classic” Entity Framework, building on the new multiplatform .NET Core framework and adding the ability to connect to nonrelational data sources while keeping the features that made Entity Framework Code First so popular. In Entity Framework Core Succinctly, join Ricardo Peres to explore this new version of the O/RM, from getting set up to avoiding common traps. 

The data validated our hypothesis — of the average 9.3 million daily visits to Stack Overflow, we get fewer than 88,000 clicks to the navigation or top bar (this includes inbox, rep, profile, and search.) If you divided each individual click per visit, that’s fewer than 1% of visits navigating anywhere (and far fewer if you counted multiple clicks per visit). Our navigation is not being used by 99% of our users. 

We are proud to present the first beta release of Kendo UI for Angular 2. It’s been designed specifically for Angular 2. Written in Typescript, built as native Query-free components and distributed as NPM packages, Kendo UI for Angular 2 makes integrating UI components into ng2 a piece of cake for developers. In this beta release, you’ll find the business application essential building blocks — form elements, grid and data visualization components.

Note that FASTER is not directly comparable to Redis, as FASTER is not just a cache. FASTER can index and access data larger than memory, as well as take consistent checkpoints for recovery, more like a persistent hash key-value store + cache combination. FASTER is multi-threaded and latch-free as well, which gives it very high performance on a single machine.

Some recently completed and ongoing/future work items on our roadmap can be found at https://microsoft.github.io/FASTER/roadmap. For instance, in FASTER C#, we recently added log compaction, support for deletes, inline variable-sized allocations, and a read cache.
